The article considers the problem of a rectangular plate, supported by cross system stiffening ribs, bending. In addition to transverse load, plate is subjected forces in its plane, transmitted through ribs. Аn analytical solution boundary value for resolving differential equation with respect normal deflection describing deformation stiffeners, obtained. presented form series combinations regu...

In this study an orthotropic slab finite element is developed to model orthotropic slabs in fire, using a layered 9-noded iso-parametric slab element and a 3-noded beam element. The element is assembled from a solid slab element which represents the continuous upper portion of the profile, and a special beam element which represents the ribbed lower portion. An equivalent width for the cross-se...

the steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...

the present paper investigates the advantages of a new class of composite grid structures over conventional grids. thus far, a known grid structure such as orthogrid or isogrid has been used as an orthotropic layer with at most in-plane anisotropy. the present laminated grid is composed of various numbers of thin composite grid layers. the stiffness of the structure can be adjusted by choosing ...

in design and optimization process of laminated composite structures, the number of layers, layer angles, stacking sequence, material types and etc should be specified. each of aforesaid parameters can be applied as a design variable. in this paper the target is to minimize the weight of laminated composite pin loaded structures. the laminated composite structures are designed based on the load...

Controversial views have been expressed about whether tarantula feet can secrete fine silk threads that could prevent them from falling off smooth vertical surfaces. Two studies have claimed that 'ribbed hairs' on the tarsi of tarantulas produce silk. We examined these ribbed hairs in several tarantula species using light and scanning electron microscopy, and compared them with the silk-produci...

Abstract To explore the optimization seismic design of frame-multi-ribbed composite wall structure, firstly finite element model a six story structure is established based on software SAP2000. Secondly critical parameters multi under action are analysised using analysis software. Finally response different rib combinations and optimal arrangement rule studied. The results reveals that lateral s...

this paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. for each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the rule of mi...

In the present study, small scale effect on critical buckling loads of triangular nano- composite plates under uniform in-plane compression is studied. Since at nano-scale the structure of the plate is discrete, the size dependent nonlocal elasticity theory is employed to develop an equivalent continuum plate model for this nanostructure incorporating the changes in its mechanical behavior. The...
